I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, advised by Dr. Arun Majumdar. My research centers on developing nano-photonic devices and optical systems for imaging, sensing, display, communication and energy transfer engineering. By fusing advanced optical designs, nano-fabrication, electro-optical characterization, and novel computational and machine learning algorithms, I aim to unlock new functionalities of light, enabling breakthroughs in machine vision, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) displays, computation, energy harvesting, and environmental remediation.

My work bridges fundamental physics in light-matter interactions and practical engineering in energy and information applications. I investigate how to control light-matter interactions at the nanoscale using new optical materials and meta-optical designs. Building on these principles, I develop integrated devices, systems and advanced algorithms that push the boundaries of spectral sensing and infrared imaging, overcoming longstanding challenges like ghosting in traditional thermal vision. I also lead efforts to explore the fundamental limits of engineering radiation heat transfer, opening new opportunities in energy harvesting and information communication.

I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University under the guidance of Dr. Zubin Jacob. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Optical Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University.
